According to the news letter from Murthy.com FBI Name Checks for I-192 Waivers Now Valid Indefinitely. I wonder if anyone knows if this will be applicable for N-400 cases in any way (I mean name check cleared long ago but still no movement in the N400 app).
here is the info I read.
As of May 5, 2005, the Administrative Review Office (ARO) of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicated that they have changed their security clearance procedures for persons filing I-192 waivers of inadmissibility. The I-192 application is a request for advance permission to enter the United States as a nonimmigrant in situations where the individual would otherwise be inadmissible to the U.S.
FBI Clearance Valid Indefinitely
Under the new procedure, the ARO will consider an FBI name check clearance as remaining valid indefinitely. If the name check clearance remains valid, the ARO will not need to wait for a new name check each time a particular person re-files an I-192 waiver application. The ARO will still send for a name check on all I-192 applications, but they will not wait for the name check clearance on any case where such clearance has already been granted.
Later Received Unfavorable Information
If that check later comes back with unfavorable information, the ARO will review the file and determine whether the decision to let the individual into the United States should be revoked. In the event of a revocation, the ARO will provide notice to the applicant or the applicant's attorney
